I have been kicking around this idea for quite some time now, and I think I’ve got most of the bugs and kinks banged out at this point. The following is a sample of copy that is due to go up on my website when I get back from Hawaii. What I need from you, dear readers, is feedback! Feedback life you’ve never feedback’d before! I need you to poke holes in my ideas, to offer up your own wants and desires when you think of a “man’s spa”, or tell me exactly /how/ you prefer to be shorn! Note that I do NOT know how to cut hair, and that would be a disastrous thing to add to my list of pamper. I will be hammering out details right up until launch day, and probably even after that, so nothing is set in stone!

What I also need, dear lovers and dreamers, are test subjects! Who wants to be this hot bunny’s test body? For the entire month of April I will be offering, at a 50% discount, all of these services to those willing to be a test subject for my new spa packages. The catch is this: You must give me your honest feedback on my skill, your comfort, what I should do differently and what you loved AND you must write me a little review to announce my services to our community. Game?

Oh! I nearly forgot: to the ladies on my blog (how I love you!) please don’t think that just because I’m calling this a “man’s spa” you can’t indulge! Contact me directly if you are too shy to post here, but these services are for -all- my clients, regardless of gender.

We all know the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away!”. We’ve rolled our eyes, chuckled, and went on our way. No one EVER seems to debate the wisdom of “An ORGASM a day keeps the doctor away,”. But it’s true! Here’s an article that encapsulates a study:

Now, if you actually read that article, it talks about how over-all, men have a shorter lifespan than women. I don’t think that’s a revelation for many people. What is interesting, is that unlike women, men actively desire sex longer (72% vs only 11% ages 57-85), and those men who do have an active sex life can add 5-11 years onto their life. That number is increased even more if the man is not just sexually active, but physically active and moving about.

In all fairness, the above article that references the study done by the British Medical Group has come under fire; it’s not an accurate subsection of people, it could have been coincidence, but based on my (admittedly self-selected) data, I’d like to believe it’s true. I don’t care if it’s confirmation bias!

So, for better health, take your sexuality in hand (or someone else’s) and maybe send a bit of that good energy my way!

What I really want to talk about, though, is the concept of self-love to keep one happy and whole. (And before you start making masturbation jokes, I’ve heard them all) Here’s an article discussing non-sexual things one might do to pamper your body and calm your mind. It’s geared mostly to women but who says a manly man can’t take a bubble bath?

My business and lifestyle can take tolls on my body. If I want to be in tip-top condition, I have to remember to eat right, sleep enough, drink lots of water and be mindful of when was the last time I was outside? Today, I decided that I should have a monthly ritual in which to pamper and self-love myself to get me back into 100% mode. It is my personal opinion that these things are omnisexual, and I encourage my men to at least try some or all of these things (you can thank me later!)

Take the day off!

Then, at night, when I’m curled up comfy on my couch with a mug of tea and some kettle corn, I watch a comfort movie (Disney, a musical, or a documentary about puppies), and when I put myself to bed on freshly laundered sheets I thank myself for a day well spent (sorry boys, a lady never kisses and tells, even if it’s with herself!)

I’ve been trying to do this once a month for a year; I always seem to find something else that is more important. Nothing is more important than your health. Physical, mental, sexual, psychological, they are all important. And we tend to ignore one for the other, if we pay attention at all. No more. I’ve found the salon of my dreams and a LMP who is easy to schedule with and adores me. Why shouldn’t I take care of myself first?

I would LOVE to hear what you do to relax after a hard day/week/month. Give me ideas!
